There are plenty of ways to deal with problems, and some are more mature than others. Being passive-aggressive is generally seen as a childish or immature way to deal with something. Many people think people and problems should be confronted head-on. Honestly, though, sometimes the passive-aggressive way is the only way. Being passive-aggressive in the form of a strongly worded letter or note targets the issue at hand. The person causing problems has to reflect on their own behavior and think about whether they are the problem or not, and usually they are.
